This application requests authority to allow SGL Automotive to conduct manufacturing of carbon fiber (1,500 metric tons at the outset and up to 15,000 metric tons at full capacity) under FTZ procedures for export. Foreign-origin polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber (HTSUS 5501.30, duty rate: 7.5%) will be used as the primary production input, which represents some 45 percent of finished product value.
